How to Set Up a Custom Domain with EvilMail

EvilMail allows you to use your own domain for receiving emails. This guide walks you through the complete setup process.

Step 1: Add Your Domain Log in to your EvilMail dashboard, navigate to Domains, and enter your domain name. EvilMail will automatically configure the necessary DNS records in our system.

Step 2: Update Nameservers Point your domain's nameservers to our servers at your registrar: - storm.nesil.dev - void.nesil.dev - kraken.nesil.dev - pandora.nesil.dev

Step 3: Wait for Propagation DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide. You can check the status using the Verify DNS button in your dashboard.

Step 4: Create Email Accounts Once verified, create email accounts under your domain. Each account gets full inbox functionality with POP3 and IMAP access.

Step 5: Manage DNS Records Use the built-in DNS editor to add, modify, or delete records. Support for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, and CAA record types.
